  1. Finding curves
  2. Hover Hour
  3. Already completed it, but it still was hard - Hot Hot Hot.
  4. I also have 1 more mission that I can't complete, but I don't remember it. EDIT: It's called Over and Back.
Also, did you use items in the final boss battle?

I disliked chaos, it probably took me longer than the last boss.

Taco, Try shooting a digger at the boss whenever you can so he's in a hole, he should shoot himself if you're lucky. You'll get it eventually :)

Finding curves, you should be able to notice two distinct curve paths with the targets. You've probably noticed already, in which case, just keep trying. 2, and 3 I got lucky. Over and Back, don't go for the portal to the right, aim for the target to the left towards that purple wall. Aim high and don't use full power. As for the final boss, I have used every item at my disposal. I believe I mentioned I shielded on top of him and dropped bounsplodes on him.

I've got him in a hole several times already. By the time I've reached the last mission, you'd think I would have noticed how painfully dumb the AI is. He either hurts himself but in the process, ends up messing up the perfect hole inside, which means he can't hurt himself anymore, or he simply teleports out or activates his damned shields. Whatever happens or how perfect my shots are, It's just not enough and I always get killed and he has 200ish health left at best. UPDATE: So I tried restarting until I spawn with a digger. I used a tracer to dig him right off the bat. So far it looks like I might have a chance.

Honestly, no one mission was super difficult. However, here are the missions which took the most time.
1. Double Rainbow- Simple concept, hard to execute, especially because the map isn't a perfect mirror until you move a little to the right.
2. Fiesta Forever- You gotta pray that you can hide in along the pit, shoot the other two tanks, and hope one of them screws up and shoots Ned. If they don't shoot Ned, you lose. No matter what.
3. Over and Back- Took a while to realize there was another way to win rather than the initial portal. Again, not very hard once I figured that out. It just took a long time.
4. Mount Olympus- Zeus threw more 2012s in a row with asteroids in a line than I could scave off for a while. His adaptive AI made it harder, too. However, I still won it on the 3rd try. Doesn't matter; it was still a harder mission than most.
5. Finding Curves. Sort of like Double Rainbow- easy concept, not so easy to execute. I got one but not the other for a long time before I succeeded. It only took about 30 minutes total to get it down, which was less than any other mission listed here.

I don't see how Buried Treasure, Hot Hot Hot, The Final Boss, or Hover Hour are hard. I got Treasure on my 3rd try, Hot Hot Hot on my 2nd, Hover Hour on my 1st, and The Final Boss on my 3rd. Just play them long enough, and the difficulty will go down.

That's my list. Some other missions, like Chaos, could be there if they were actually hard, or if the computers were actually smarter than a post. That is something that should change, though, for a lvl 1 AI is not different from a lvl 8 AI. But that can be discussed elsewhere.

Lol, I actually had to use the Steam web browser to complete Finding Curves.

I used the bottom border of the window to measure power.

Mt Olympus took me quite a few attempts, got me stressing because on one occasion after my first go they knocked me down 120 HP!!! I mean come on! Finally got past it though.

Wait until some of your weapons level up. Tunneler vs Torpedoes, as well as some others, really do matter in it. Even though I beat it in 2 tries without any leveled weapons, leveling the weapons up makes it a whoile world easier. Of course, you could just keep trying until you get smart teammates. :P

Ok, i've completed all but the final boss, and my most hated mission was Fiesta Forever. That level hardly requires skills because it's all based on luck.

Even if when you fire the weapon if the weapon lands directly on the target when the Pinata explodes it sometimes completely misses the target right underneath it..... hence no need for accuracy or skill!

Fiesta Forever And Skill Shots We're The Most Annoying For Me. All The Other Missions Wern't Painfully Bad.

These two were my least favorite of all. You probably already know you should hide behind the hill in fiesta forever so they're less likely to hit you. But mentioning just in case as it's your best chance of beating it. It also actually helps to land the pinatas directly on them, but ofc that's often not possible. As for the final boss, what I did was restarted the mission until I got a digger (supply drops help too). Then I used it on him IMMEDIATELY(use a tracer if you need it) so he'd be stuck in a hole and he'd hurt himself A TON :) Sometimes you'll get unlucky and he teleports or shields or some other thing and ends up not hurting himself much. If you simply can't beat him play more multiplayer so you can get better stuff, the grinding sucks but it helps :)

Now im doing this pile o shizazz and yeah yer right.
The only luck you get is the hopes of burying them so the pinata and their own shot deal heavy damage.
Also, dusty is the first target due to ned and lucky having fun shooting each other... (Or destroying me)

I almost had it since lucky was left and i had a wall to protect me, he was low and so was i, then it looked like he did a quake... nope, Frikken magnet storm and killed me.

I cannot figure out "Thinking with Portals" for the life of me. I am probably overthinking it, but I just cannot get past this one in the third campaign set. Any tips and I will gladly take them!
